1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Ok now we know that the first neighborhood Watch meeting

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: is going to be happening out at Zacholi this afternoon.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: And joining us on the line right now to tell

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: us a little bit more about it. It is Shelley

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Lay from the IgA out at ZACOLEA.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Shelley.

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 3: Good morning Katie. How are you?

8
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, really well and good on you guys for organizing

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: this neighborhood watch meeting, the first of it's kind happening

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: this afternoon six till seven, isn't it.

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've just allocated an hour. We'll see whether people

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: want to stay on or whether it will finish early.

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: But we've got a bit of a lineup happening. We've

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: got the Neighborhood Watch Inta coming along, victims of crime,

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: the police will be here. We'll also have our local

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: member of Parliament, Lea if No Theiaro here.

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 4: So we've hopefully got a bit.

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: Of an agenda happening, so we can add value and

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: try and discuss some ways we can keep our neighborhood

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: as safe as possible.

21
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, good on you, because so many if our listeners

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: will be familiar with you and the conversations that you

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: and I have had over the last couple of years,

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: and some of the terrible situations where you've been broken

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: into and I know that it's you know, there's been

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: different different times that have been really, really very tough,

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: but you've actually gone all right, well, let's try and

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: make something positive out of this and get the community

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: together and see how we can look out for each other.

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely it, Katie. It's the negative turning into

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: a positive and if we can help other people so

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: we can prevent the same sort of trauma that we

33
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: experienced last year. Where we're all into that and we're

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: very happy to sort of facilitate this get the community together.

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: We did campusit towards the end of last year on

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: our social media and the response was fabulous. People are

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: really keen, so with what we're really just aiming to

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: do is to get go back to basics and get

39
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: our community to get to know their neighbors.

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Shelley, have you got any idea how many people are

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: going to rock up?

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: I have no idea, No RSVP required, so it's I

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: may not have anyone who knows. I've got some flatters

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 4: getting made up, so we'll have some nice light refreshments

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: for everybody, and.

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: If they're popping on their way home, maybe just pick

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: up some tips on how to secure your property and

48
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: even just look at how people are if there are

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: places being broken into, all things being stolen, a bit

50
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: of crime happening, just just sort of be aware how

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: that's taking place, whether they're just looking for opportunities stick circumstances,

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: whether they see a window open, cars unlocked, front door

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: just latched over and not fully key locked, you know,

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: like the things that dirt crims. They just go, hey,

55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: this is easy. I'm just going to go in. And

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: just to remind people that if it's your place is

57
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: harder than the place next door, then they're going to

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: go to the place next door.

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Shelly, how have things been for you guys when it

60
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: comes to, you know, break ins over the Christmas break

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: and stuff, has it been a little bit a little

62
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: bit better.

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: Well, they've been around, yeah, that's for sure, But Jumbo's

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: still working a treat. A few have tried to take

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: Jumbo on and but they've quickly retreated once he's sort

66
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: of let them know that he's here and in full force.

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: So look, it's a shame that we do have to

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: to put this here. But we're still struggling with the

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: roller doors and getting the approval with that blocking the

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: fire exits off, which we're currently still working on. But

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: that is our very long working progress.

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, may it seems like it's it's a difficult

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: one for you to kind of get through in terms

74
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: of being able to sort those roller doors out.

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: I know, and nobody understood how hot like, you know,

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: just put them on. And I'm like, if we put

77
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: them on, they could just be ripped off if they're

78
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: not approved. So we want to do things the right way.

79
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: It's just a very costly exercise.

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: Unfortunately.

81
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: Hey, Shelly, how are the shelves looking.

82
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: I know it's been difficult, a difficult few days for

83
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: quite a lot of retailers around the place when it

84
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: comes to, you know, to their stock levels with those

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: roads cut.

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: How are things going for you guys?

87
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Actually we're pretty good. We've got lots of fruit

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: and beg on the shelf. We've got chicken. Meat's a

89
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: little bit low, but I am expecting some more in tomorrow.

90
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: And one thing I've really noticed in this and some

91
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: of the delivery drivers have said, come you guys are

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: getting so much of this, and the local suppliers have

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: said it's because they support us every week. The big

94
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: guys don't use us every week. So we've made sure

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: that we're looking after the people that support us every week.

96
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: So finally supporting local is really showing its true colors.

97
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Good.

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: We're able to keep our shelves as stock as we

99
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: possibly can.

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: That is awesome. That is great to hear.

101
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Hey, Shelly, someone's just messaged through in Dust. How much

102
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: does it cost for you guys to have jumbo they're

103
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: patrolling the patrolling the building.

104
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: Four grand a week.

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: Oh, four grand a week? Uh huh, oh my goodness.

106
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: You know those are not sustainable. This is meant to

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a band aid until we

108
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: were able to get roller doors, which I thought would

109
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: be fully installed after they were made by Christmas. But

110
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 3: it's the certified getting it approved that has been the

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: big hurdle. Ohow yeah.

112
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: And you know, I suppose the thing is like it's

113
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: unsustainable to keep paying that amount of money, but it's

114
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: something that you've done so that you're able to you know,

115
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: to not get broken into.

116
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: And we've done it for the shop and We've done

117
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: it for the community. We didn't want this little suburb,

118
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: it's so beautiful that has beautiful families living into it

119
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 3: subjected to crime or people who want to have taken

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: crime in this area, and when we see some other

121
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: suburbs that just keep getting hit and hit, so we

122
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: want to keep it out and we're trying our best

123
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: to do so. But there's going to be a point

124
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: where we can't continue doing it.

125
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

126
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: Oh, Shelley, you are a good egg. Thank you so

127
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: very much for your time today. Now, just a reminder, though,

128
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: where can people rock up if they are if they

129
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: want to take part in the in the meeting tonight.

130
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so just come along six o'clock, no RSVP needed.

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: We'll be out the front of the IgA in the

132
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: plaza there undercover should there be any rain. And we

133
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: look forward to actually seeing a lot of familiar faces

134
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: but new ones as well, because it would be really great.

135
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: Just our motto is to get to know your neighbor

136
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: and then to work together to try and reduce any

137
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: type of crime in the area.

138
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: I love it, I love the community spirit.

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: Let us know how it goes.

140
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: Thanks Katie, and thanks for having us on. We really

141
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: appreciate it and we look forward to seeing Nicolleens tonight.

142
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: Sounds good, Thanks Shelley,
